OMFG! Guardiola absolutely SLATES Wilshere!

According to the Daily Mirror (and several other papers) Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has absolutely ripped Arsenal and Jack Wilshere a new one by insisting little Jackie wouldn’t get in the Barca first team ahead of Andrés Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets. The swine…

Here’s what he said:

“Wilshere is a top player, and has been a big, big surprise. I didn’t know him at the start of the season. In the first game he had a really good performance.

“He can be great player for Arsenal and England, but we have many types of player like him in the second team. He’s lucky, as Arsenal have time. There is not the pressure to win titles as quickly as possible.”
